russia and we saw this not as a either or but a way bringing russia closer to nato and giving russia a seat at the table and they voice in all of this. so put together the framework which everybody participated and once this was in place then we could go forward with nato membership the it was all about not repeating the 20th century and even 19th century europe where the small countries had to limit their sovereignty and their foreign policy dependence because they were between two large countries. the geography determine your fate our history was bound to be repeated. for example, one of the reasons why nato came about was because somebody -- some of the earlier ideas of confederation in europe struck people as going back to the very loose legal nation's whole collective security of the 1930s where everybody is responsible for everybody else s security and, therefore, nobody is secure. central and eastern european countries there was a natural rebellion politically against that kind of idea of being in a glass or second class citizen zone. the point want to make is, before transpar

energy flows from russia to europe. those continue even in the midst of the cold war, at the height of the cold war. so the idea that you're going to turn off the tap on all russian oil or natural gas exports, i think, is unrealistic. but there are a range of, you know, approaches that can be taken not only in the energy sector but in the arms sector, the finance sector, in terms of lines of credit for trade. all that have a significant impact on russia. i don't think it's appropriate for us to delve into the details at this stage because our hope is, is that we don't have to deploy them. but what i can say is that our experts at the highest level, and not just bilaterally but multilaterally through the european commission and our diplomatic teams have been working through all the possibilities and we're confident that we will have a package that will further impact russia's growth and economy. but again, our hope is, is that we shouldn't have to use them. we're not interested in punishing the russian people. we do thin

continues sanctions on russia over actions in ukraine. president barack obama has been criticized for not doing enough. foreign policy is often driven by public opinion. what's america's take in half of americans support upping the sanctions against russia. that's according to a survey by the survey in usa today. maybe the buck stops there. a third think it would be a good idea to send arms and military supplies to ukraine. ultimately that may be president barack obama 's call. his grades through this are only so-so. four in ten americans think his handling of the crisis have been about right. regardless of who does what and how, do americans think it matters? not really. a third of the country thinks what happens between russia and ukraine is very important to the u.s. which sort of makes sense if we look at a survey posted by the washington post a few weeks ago. political scientists found one in six americans could actually find ukraine on a map. the median response was about 2,900 kilometers off. the study found the less accurate a per
